As FireForged says, there are no bonus points for good groups in the self defense use of weapons.
Accuracy in hitting the important parts of the body is necessary to stop the attacker.
But they don't have to be the same important parts.
Much can be learned from those who train with knives in this.
As for developing skill with different kinds of weapons, RBID asks a couple of good questions.
We should keep this thread going, for awhile.
Military training does include the use of the other guys' weapons.
It always has, to various degrees.
As for expecting to have to use an alternate weapon as realistic, why wouldn't it be?
Why couldn't it happen?
Some training schools do include using a so called "pick up" gun.
As do some matches.
It's quite an eye opener.
Kind of like the cross training that's become so popular in other areas.
Next?
